Pujara slams 306 to put India A on top

Hubli, Oct 11 IANS | 1 year ago

Skipper Cheteshwar Pujara carved out an unbeaten 306 (415b, 33x4) as India A took command of their four-day match against West Indies A, who -- trailing by 296 runs on the first innings -- were 116 for three at close on the third and penultimate day here Friday.

Pujara, who was 139 overnight, ground the Windies attack that made little impression on the 25-year old Rajkot batsman who made the best of a reprieve in the last over before lunch when on 198 and with the help of the lower-order batsmen helped India to make 506 for 9 declared.
